Always proud supporters of GOLD GUITAR Gore Flooring Xtra Colourplus Hokonui Drive Gore Phone 03 208 9535 6701650AA I t all began with a meeting with Gore Country Music Club members. The members decided they wanted a Hands of Fame structure in the shape of a guitar to further enhance the ideals that Gore is the New Zealand capital of country music. Errol Alison then approached a Gore-based New Zealand artist to design something special in the spot where the Brown Trout now stands. The proposal to the Gore District Council was turned down, but the Club didn’t give up. Eleven years later, the Club began collecting hand SOUTHERN WIDE REAL ESTATE PROUD TO BE SUPPORTING THE GOLD GUITARS 2015 prints in concrete of country music artists from both New Zealand and further afield. From Kenny Rogers to Slim Dusty, Patsy Rigger, Suzanne Prentice and more, they certainly worked up quite a bank. But they still had nowhere to put them. Over the following years, the idea was once more brought up to create a structure that would showcase those hands, and what they meant to Gore. Errol Alison who also created Gore’s iconic Brown Trout statue was approached for his structure ideas and his design was presented at a Club meeting. The impressive guitar sculpture acknowledging Gore’s role in country music began construction phases in 2004, ready for the Gold Guitar Awards in 2005, giving a home to those Hands of Fame collected over the years. All plaques were installed and room was left for new ones to be added in the years to come. Ownership of this structure now sits with Gore District Council. Now, each year, names have been put forward to become a part of the selection process for induction into the Hands of Fame. Not all recipients are singers, but those who have been recipients in recent years include The Topp Twins, Brendan Dugan, Pat Dugan, Barry Skinner, Dennis Marsh, Marian Burns and Ray Columbus, and many more.
